2. On the one hand, a lot of people agreed with my assertions. However, agreement gets me nowhere. So, I've listened to those who disagree.

3. On the whole, there were 2 flavours of criticism (nasty & nice) but both stemmed from the same place. I'll try express my understandings.

4. Ultimately, those that were critical felt as though I was unfairly charactering/vilifying men.

5. Despite my belief that the issue is a parenting/upbringing issue, I overemphasised it as a man problem – which is inaccurate.

And also you are so sure there is a problem with men whilst so many men feel they are well-adjusted emotionally. They love and are loved.

Even if you don't lay the blame at men's door, you are still saying they are broken which dismisses their dignity, humanity & individuality

It's not my belief that men are broken. If that's what has been understood here, then I really need to work on my communication skills.

My belief is that the ideals we set for men (boys) are based on old world narratives.

I sense that men have not yet had a movement akin to feminism, wherein there's a shift in consciousness regarding our place in the world.

I agree with you there. We have made more effort to help women opt out of gender roles and access more opportunities than men.
